Brain and Reading

hello, smilemoon. i may do not fully comprehend what is written, but i think i understand what you're trying to say. well anyway, reading is a good exercise for the brain. it is a far effective work-out than merely watching for entertainment. but don't get me wrong. entertainment for the brain has its benefits too.

I think I understand you.. I faced alot of challenges beacause of the ILETS after reading I passed the ILETS Exam with a good results. So I'm glad that I could help myself with reading ^^

I agree that reading is very good for the brain, and it is something that you should try to do every day if you get the chance. I read for around one hour per night before I go to bed, and I feel as though it helps me to relax when I need to get to sleep. It is good that I am able to do this, because everyone should be able to have things to relax them before they go to sleep because it means that they will sleep more soundly and also feel much more refreshed when they wake up in the morning, which has to be a good thing.

Your so right reading is much more of a mentally active thing while watching TV is a lot more passive.When you read a book you have to actively think about the plot and in a book there is much more opportunity for sub plots and for the story to be multi layered. Another thing about a book is that it tends to encourage empathy much more than a film and TV shows as you are given the characters thoughts and feelings,this fosters much more intellectual engagement. Though some films do take some brain work to keep up with as some do have complicated plots and hidden/deeper meaning.

Hi, More reason why we can't do away with the printed material called book. It is always here to stay in spite of the online information superhighway. I do not feel much reading for the electronic format using eBook readers. Reading is to the mind as jogging is to the muscles.

Actually when I as still busy in school, I only watch TV when I was riding a bus. For almost a whole semester, I haven't watch a full TV show. And what did I do during most of my free time? Guess what? Reading a book. There are different methods in learning. I learned most from reading a book rather than watching TV. But there are some people who learn more effectively while watching TV, like my best friend.

Reading allows our brain to comprehensively act in certain ways that is far beyond the brain activity when watching televisions or videos. Reading enhances our vocabulary and allows us to improve our capacity to readily understand written materials.

I also love reading especially fiction books. However for the past months, I can't even finish just a 400 page book since I started working with some online jobs. I worked as an article writer and now as a virtual assistant. Thanks to myLot at least somehow I can still read but not books but stories of myLotters.

I agree :D I have loved reading ever since I was a small child, and it's a very worthwhile activity. It gives you a fun way of spending your time while improving your ability to think.
